Doll Hand

 

Classe by Jenna Zadymov

Materials

Pro-Sculpt Polymer Clay
Wooden Tool
Medium Soft Brush to clean and smooth
Sharp Carving Knife
Needle Tool
Small Stylus
Oven preheated to 275 degrees

You will need: polymer clay (I prefer ProSculpt because it’s firm enough to create tiny details yet soft enough to make smoothing easy) a wooden tool (try to stay away from metal tools as much as possible as they make your clay dirty), medium soft brush to clean and smooth, a sharp carving knife, a needle tool (you can use a sewing needle if you don’t have the tool) and a small stylus.l


Step 1
Shape a small rectangle and make 4 short cuts (no need to make them long, we’ll do that later)

Step 2

Cut a small triangle from both sides of each finger and make them look like carrots.

Some fingers might be a little too fat, so trim the edges with a carving knife, make them a bit more rounded.


Step 3
Roll and shape each finger with your fingers. Be careful, it’s easy to tear them off!

Step 4

Pull each finger so they are not so fat anymore.


Step 5

BOO! No, we’re not making a Halloween monster, let me finish!:)

Cut about half off to about two-thirds of the final length

Roll again with your fingers. See, it kind of begins to look like a human hand!


Step 6
Trim away extra “fat”.

Step 7
Your hand should look somewhat like this now.

Step 8
With a wooden tool indicate bones that you want to show. You don’t need to do this if you’re making a child. This makes your hand look fragile and feminine.

Step 9
Now turn your hand palm up. With a wooden tool make a hollow for the thumb.

Step 10

Here is your thumb. Make sure one half is thinner than the other.

Position the thumb. The thick half goes on the palm side.

Attach with a tool.


Step 11
For the index and middle fingers roll tiny balls of clay to form the bones.

Step 12
Smooth with a tool and spend some time smoothing and shaping with a brush. Using a needle tool, mark the nails. Create tiny lines on the palm with a stylus. Use your own palm as a reference.

Ta-daaa! We’re done!
